Much of the septet’s output is co-written and co-produced by members Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. Originally a hip-hop ensemble, their musical style has grown to encompass a variety of genres. Their lyrics, which are frequently centered on personal and social commentary, address issues such as mental health, the difficulties of school-age kids and coming of age, grief, the struggle towards accepting oneself, and individualism. Their work frequently incorporates literary and psychological elements, as well as an alternate universe tale. Having sold over 20 million albums on the Gaon Music Chart, BTS is the best-selling artist in South Korean history and holds the best-selling album in South Korea with Map of the Soul: 7.
